Chapter 46: The Victims

Wen Lin got up early the next morning and saw that Ling Yuanchen and Long Qingli were already sitting downstairs for breakfast, because of Xiao Jiu's matter last night, Wen Lin didn't think to take the initiative to deal with Ling Yuanchen. Sit down, lower your eyes, and start eating. Long Qing felt that the atmosphere was too embarrassing and opened his mouth first.

"Lin Zi, I apologize to you for Xiao Jiu's matter, this matter is for the sake of the eldest brother, we have already let her go back to Tianqiong Castle. For now, it's important to get down to business. ”

Hearing Long Qing say this, Wen Lin was not angry. I answered lightly and started to eat breakfast again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, Ling Yuchen spoke: "Long Qing, you go to the lady who sells wontons today to inquire about the situation in Luoyan City, Wen Lin, you..."

"I'm going to look around, we haven't seen any disasters along the way, but the people in this city don't seem to be doing well, so I'm going to look somewhere else."

"We're just here to get the ice cocoon, don't make extraneous branches," Long Qing disagreed.

"Don't forget, the Ice Silkworm Cocoon is in the City Lord's Mansion, if there is really anything in this place, it will not be good for us not to find out."

"Okay, I'll go with you" Hearing this, Wen Lin raised his eyes and looked at Ling Yuanchen in surprise, Ling Yuanchen pretended to be calm and coughed, "I also want to go around first."

After eating, Long Qing went to find the aunt who sold chaos, and Wen Lin and his party of four walked out of the city, "We came from the west when we entered the city, now let's go from the east." ”

"The weather has been really hot these days, so I left my uncle to prepare a carriage and prepare more dry food, and we will go for a walk."

Along the way, the more people walked, the more they felt that something was wrong, this season was the busy season for farming, the rice fields that should have been planted with crops were all overgrown with weeds, and the further they went, the more desolate they became, and the carriage walked for several miles, and they couldn't even see a little life, not even the weeds on the roadside.

The carriage drove for a while, Wen Lin and the others saw a large group of people in front of them around a pile of tree roots digging something, got out of the carriage and approached to see that it was all old and weak, women and children, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles, holding dustpans and shovels and digging grass roots, Wen Lin and the others looked at each other.

Decided to ask. "Auntie, what are you doing here," Wen Lin asked softly as he walked up to a woman.

"Go and go, don't stop me from digging weed roots, my baby has been hungry for several days, and he is pushing Wenlin while talking."

Wen Lin saw a child lying next to the woman who could not see his original appearance, lying there dying, and the others were almost in this state. Wen Lin couldn't bear to say to Xiaolian and Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, you go, the carriage is coming, Xiaolian, you also go and help bring the dry food."

Seeing Uncle Li and Xiaolian bringing dry food, Wen Lin took it out and handed it to the woman. When the woman saw the bread, her eyes were shining, and she was not in a hurry to dig up the roots of the weeds, but she turned her head and lifted the child up, and the little child's eyes were shining when he saw the bread, although he could see that he had no strength.

But he still desperately took a few bites, because the food was too urgent and the cake was too hard, the child was choked and coughed, Wen Lin hurriedly took out the kettle to the woman, and waited for the child to drink a few mouthfuls of water and the cake went down, and finally breathed.

Seeing other people's eyes shining at the big pie, Wen Lin felt panicked in her heart, she had lived at the top of the world since she was a child, and she never knew that there were so many hungry people in the outside world.

She hated that she was not capable of helping others, she thought that she would be able to save more people if she studied medicine, and now she was sad and powerless to see this group of people. I can only do what I can," Xiaolian went and took down all the pastries on the carriage, "The old man and the children all distributed the pastries."

The movement here also attracted the attention of others, and the villagers saw that there was something to eat. His eyes glowed green, and they rushed towards Wen Lin's side.

The younger ones ran faster, and many people left their children in place, and many old people and children were trampled on for a while.

Wen Lin shouted, "Don't worry, don't worry, we have a lot here, everyone has a share", but no one paid attention to them, and they all broke their heads for a cake. For a time, many elderly people and children were injured by stampede."

With a "whoosh", Wen Lin turned his head and saw Ling Yuanchen pull out his sword and point it at the villagers, "Whoever is messing around will kill him." For a while, the people who were still crazy stopped, and it was only a moment before the crowd began to stir again.

Then some people instigated emotions: "Everyone ignore them, we will die if we eat or not, it is better to rob them of food, if we continue like this, we will die sooner or later, where will these sons and brothers know our hard work, everyone will rob them of their food."

"Bang". Ling Yuanchen's sword aura swept over, and a tree not far away fell in response. The timid villagers were frightened and retreated. "Now, if you want to eat, you can line up for me, and the elderly and children will be given priority."

After saying that, the frightened villagers also began to line up, Wen Lin watched the villagers who got the food gobbling up, and felt panicked.

"Uncle Li, you go to Luoyan City to buy some rice and grain, and you can buy more medicine. I want to relieve the heat and prevent the plague. Go and come back quickly, and be careful not to make people suspicious. ”

Wait for Uncle Li's departure. Wen Lin walked back to the woman who had eaten and drunk enough, squatted down, checked the child's pulse, and was relieved to find that there were no serious symptoms.

Wen Lin walked to the old man lying in the corner, stretched out his hand and took a pulse, the old man's face was flushed, his face was dirty, and he was already out of breath and out of breath and in. Wen Lin had to take out a silver needle for the old man to prick a few needles first, the old man's rapid breathing eased down, Wen Lin was a little relieved, and fed the old man some water and pastries, Wen Lin found that there were many women who hid the food they had received in their arms, ready to keep it for the child to eat when he was hungry.

When Wen Lin saw it, he said loudly, "Everyone can eat with confidence." We have gone to prepare the rice grain, and you will have the energy to take care of the children when you are full, and what should you do if you fall ill?"

At first, the woman said, "This boy is right, if we fall ill, the child will really not survive." You all have to eat a little."

Wen Lin felt even more uncomfortable when she saw that they had finally eaten, and at this time she realized that there were really not many commoners asking for much, unlike the group of rice buckets in the capital, who knew about intrigue all day long, and there were few people who really did practical things.

At this time, the women and children were full, and they got up and kowtowed to Wen Lin and the others, and knelt down and said, "Thank you, sons, you are all good people, we are really forced to grab things, we are so hungry"
